Berkshire Pottery

Hillsdale

Since pretty much everything we see in stores is mass-produced these days, it’s a relief that workers at the 54-year-old Berkshire Pottery hand-craft and hand-paint everything in stock: no molds or stencils allowed. Located in a charming 19th-century barn, the company creates everything from plates to birdhouses. Each piece is built to last: Go ahead and stick them in the oven, microwave, or dishwasher. 518-325-4567; www.berkshirepottery.com
